Wind and solar are wholly inadequate for Virginia’s energy needs. CFACT makes plain the hard math that explains Virginia’s need to generate abundant, efficient electricity. To: Virginia State Corporation Commission Re: PUR-2023-00066 From: Craig Rucker, President CFACT 1717 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Suite 1025 Washington, D.C. 20006 202-559-9036 Via SCC comment portal Comments of CFACT regarding […]
Check out this unbelievable story at CFACT’s Climate Depot. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm thought a showboat electric car road trip would be great PR. Wrong! NPR (of all outlets) covered the mess that resulted, and our Marc Morano picked it up at the Depot: Granholm approaches a charging station to charge the Cadillac Lyriq she was riding […]
Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made. What comes out is fully dependent on what theoreticians and programmers have put in: hypotheses, assumptions, relationships, parameterizations, stability constraints, etc. Unfortunately, in mainstream […]
Much ado is being made from the supposed win of a kid’s climate lawsuit in Montana. The alarmists call it a victory, the skeptics a tragedy, but it is neither. What was won is almost funny, while the big ask was in fact denied. The climate kids won a little, but lost a lot. On […]
Global warming campaigners are pushing the notion that we just had the “hottest ever” three days in recorded history. The warming-compliant media picked up the “hottest ever” line and ran with it. We posted a serious debunking at CFACT.org. The Daily Caller’s Nick Pope explains that in order to come up with their “hottest ever” hype, warming campaigners […]
Limited government is essential to American freedom. We are protected by a fundamental system of constitutional checks and balances. When giant financial corporations try to use their power to force Woke-Left ideology such as ESG, or “Environmental, Social, Governance,” on the rest of us, it is an attempt at an end run around our constitutional […]
On Spring Street, in New York’s Little Italy, sits Lombardi’s, the mother of New York-style pizza. Lombardi’s coal-fired ovens have been turning out some of the world’s most famous pizzas since 1905. Lombardi’s is believed to be America’s first pizzeria. Now NYC politicians are ordering all of their pizzerias with wood and coal burning ovens […]
You may have heard about California’s perennial woes with drought and flooding. Governor Newsom, like a parrot with limited vocabulary, dutifully squawks out “climate change” as being the culprit. Nothing could be further from the truth. CFACT’s Gabriella Hoffman investigates the situation and documents her findings in a brand new, just released CFACT Conservation Nation […]
Despite calling for rapid reduction in CO2 emissions, the left is rushing green industrialization which will dramatically increase emissions for the foreseeable future. This obvious absurdity has yet to be admitted. On the one hand, there is growing literature on the enormous material requirements required for building huge numbers of wind and solar power generating […]
Who’s to blame for the massive wildfires festooning the Northeast in smoke? CFACT’s Marc Morano puffed a cigar on Jesse Watters to illustrate the point that the fault lies not with your energy use, but with bad Canadian government policy! “This is Canadian natural disaster mismanagement,” Marc said, “and now they’re trying to blame global warming, […]
ESG, or “environmental, social, governance” investing has become a pernicious threat to our free market. Large financial institutions such as banks and fund managers are using the gigantic sums of other people’s money they control to push ideological agendas that have nothing to do with investing. Substituting a woke agenda for sound business practice constitutes […]
The climate war on food—Then they came for our food supply. Farmers and ranchers who assume that their main job is to produce food to feed hungry people stand corrected. John Kerry, the Biden administration’s special envoy on climate, wants to enlist them in the global struggle to combat the “climate crisis.” “A lot of […]
Last week I participated in a hearing conducted by the New Jersey Senate GOP on the subject of offshore wind and whales. During my testimony I spoke about the “irreparable harm” in store for both people and marine life from permitting these unbelievably massive offshore wind farms to spoil the Jersey Shore. You can watch the […]
Despite public proclamations of innocence, it turns out BOEM and NOAA clearly acknowledge the deadly threat of offshore wind development to marine mammals. Not surprisingly they do it in documents that are subject to judicial review, lest they be caught fibbing. Of course these admissions are well hidden, buried in the depths of thousand page […]
Since December, Dozens Of Whales And Dolphins Have Washed Up Dead Along East Coast Beaches, Especially The New Jersey Coast. Greenpeace launched its “Save the Whales” campaign on April 27, 1975. But in the ensuing years, Greenpeace has gone full Orwell. Greenpeace is no longer interested in saving the whales. It may actually be aiding […]
